158 – Necrosis (9)

-Go round ears!

This is the word Layla heard the most as a child. Other than that, there were ‘dumb and dull lila’ and ‘useless lila’. To her, her elf was the object of her fear.

The persecution that I had been subjected to since I was a child was something I could never forget, no matter how hard I tried. Just as the scars remain forever even if you remove a nail from a nailed tree, you could not shake off the pain you suffered while your mind was still immature.

She recently received more shocking news for her only family. They did not stop mocking themselves, but went further and tried to make them a sacrifice to be used someday.

Infuriated by this terrible and selfish act, her older sister cut off her own ear and gave up her elves, deciding to escape her forest. Of course, she is with herself.

But when Lila first saw her sister’s cropped ears, she thought it was a waste. It was because she had the ears of a typical beauty. When she was first offered the position of shaman, she was happy because she felt accepted. Finally, I have a role in this place!

Is that why? When she first heard her offer to run away, Leila was uneasy inside her. Leaving the elven forest is a serious crime. The moment you leave the forest, you can never go back. Am I becoming a criminal without being acknowledged by anyone?

Unable to overcome her sister’s toughness and running away with her hand held, Lila was saddened by herself for not being recognized by the elves until the end of her life.

Similar to how a victim of domestic violence stands up for the perpetrator, Lila longed for the elf who persecuted her.

It was the sad and pitiful desire for recognition of a young child who had focused on the fact that he was different from others in the society of elves as ugly rather than special.

But behind her coming out of her, she knows. How stupid she was for trying to be accepted by her stupid kin like that.

Just as she harbored her admiration, the people outside the forest unilaterally admired the elves and created creations based on their imaginations.

She

After she came out, Lila had many opportunities to come into contact with such creations, and when she encountered them, she thought naturally.

‘These guys aren’t this great…’

I can’t live on dew, and I can’t freely handle the ancient magic that is now forgotten. She has many handsome and beautiful women, but she doesn’t have the personality to match her looks.

As much as I knew the facts and felt the gap, I came to realize how insignificant and insignificant they are.

Just like that, Layla’s feelings for her childhood faded away.

It still is.

“Kneel down.”

Iva said.

The old elf, whose deterioration was visible, glared at those words.

“I don’t say it twice. Kneel.”

Layla knows. How lowly the lofty Elves thought of humans outside the forest. Short-lived ’round ears’ and inferior ‘furry’ animal spirits. The arrogance of thinking that only they are superior and the rest are inferior.

So, I know how humiliating this treatment will be for them.

“Why… Are you doing this…”

The young man who guided Iva to the current leader of the elven village was beaten to death by many villagers. And next to it, many children who did not see the power of Eva and rebelled meaninglessly are piled up like a mountain.

It’s only been thirty minutes since I returned to the Elven Forest. In those thirty minutes they were defeated. It was a great achievement even considering that the best forces were formed and left the forest.

It was an instant conquest of a nation that had been isolated from the outside world for several hundred years.

“Slaying the World Tree isn’t enough, are you saying you’re going to rule over our nation! What a despicable thing!”

“Ha f*ck…”

Eva frowned as she grabbed her head. How ignorant she is of reality when she makes fun of her mouth in the midst of all this. She

She sure she had no cause. It is because she has invited outsiders who killed the devil they worship as their god and mother to surrender.

But isn’t the situation right now? She wouldn’t know what to do to save her life. The distance to a natural death is too far, so they don’t know about her death.

‘Let’s kill one or two first and see how they react…’

It’s a bit troublesome to kill them all.

At the time I was thinking about that, Innis took the lead.

“Huh? Devil worshipers talk a lot? Wouldn’t it be better if you all died together?”

It was still relentless when it came to demons and monsters.

Innis was the only one who actively shouted in favor of the all-out elven war, even when everyone else was against it.

Elfs Demon worshipers who worship the World Tree. That was the case with Innis. There was no reason to oppose the opinion of the person you liked, and it was not immoral (by Innis standard), so of course I shouted for it.

And there was someone who agreed in a different way. Wiz, who was still anxiously glancing at Eva, was the protagonist.

“…That’s right. Die quickly.”

A candidate for a warrior who is in a position to defend justice proudly advocated mass slaughter. It wasn’t her opinion. I only agreed with Eva’s opinion.

‘I need to sort this out quickly so that Iba can be more comfortable…’

Her Now, as she considers all the hardships he is doing as her own responsibility, she vowed to help him in everything he does. I had no doubt that it was the best option.

It was a strange definition. It was a conclusion drawn by a person with twisted guilt.

And Layla, who was the first to say yes, thought this while looking at the elves driven into a corner.

‘It’s futile.’

I thought I would feel a sense of superiority or pleasure from feeling the persecution of those who persecuted me.

Seeing such a pathetic appearance, I didn’t even feel that way.

Rather, he felt ashamed of himself for wanting to belong to a different society.

“Is that so? But Innis, it’s just in case. Kill one guy first… Ah!”

Ivar, who deeply sympathized with Innis’ words to die together, stepped back for a moment and placed her hand on Laila’s shoulder.

“Lyla.”

“Yes, yes?”

Seeing her startled, Eva grinned.

“Who do you want to kill the most here?”

“…Yes?”

Everybody seemed to stop breathing for a moment. It was a sign of dismay.

Eva continued to ask questions without stopping.

“Why, are you a persecuted person here? Don’t you want to take revenge? I’ll do it. No, you can do it yourself.”

Iva raised Layla’s hand and swung it around.

“Hey? Is that him? Or is he? Oh, there’s a pretty girl over there. He looks like an elf, right? Is that him? Did he bully you?”

“Oh no, that’s…”

“It wasn’t! Well, if so many people had a history of harassing one person, that would be strange! So, who is that?”

“No, not even that…”

Every time Lyla’s hand was pointed at them, the elves tensed as they drew in their breath. Some fainted when her fingers brushed past her, and she burst into tears with fright.

“This, Mr. Iba, this is…”

“Why? What can I say?”

I looked around at the eyes of the elves. The appearance of those who were once at the top were distorted to the fullest. I was impressed.

“This, you sinner! It was you! You instigated that bastard to destroy the mother world tree.”

“Shut up.”

The village chief, who was the only one who still had the energy to rebel, raised his voice, and Iva cut it off sharply.

“Layla, choose quickly. Then, when those guards come, it’ll be a hassle again.”

Eva continued to tease her hand.

“Is it him? Or her? Or him? Or her? Or me….”

Then, when her finger pointed at the child who looked still young, the finger she was teasing with excitement stopped.

“… Mr. Iba.”

From the moment she was given the right to kill, she suffered.

I didn’t go through the agony to choose someone.

“I don’t think this is it.”

She was in anguish as to what to say.

Layla kindly took Eva’s hand and lowered it.

“What Mr. Iva is doing now is justified. They are worshipers who have tried to kill us just for trespassing, and have neglected their vices for my well-being for years.”

Eva’s eyes shook.

“But, this is not it, Mr. Iva. I will have to take revenge with my own hands. I will have to do it according to my own will. I have no intention of borrowing anyone else’s hands.”

Lyla continued with a grin.

“Iba-san told me. I’m a noble person. I’m a person with the colors of an emperor. Does a noble person take such petty revenge?”

Of course, the anger towards the elves still remains. It was clear that the scars they had left on her would not go away for the rest of her life and would continue to eat away at her dreams and melancholy.

“Iva-san, you who made me a noble person are far more noble and dignified than I am. So, please don’t use such a lame way.”

So, this wasn’t about the aesthetics of forgiveness.

“Don’t make a choice you’ll regret. Don’t do anything that makes you feel low.”

This was the aesthetics of choice. What should I do now so I won’t regret it later? Is Iba the kind of person who commits genocide and won’t regret it? Lila couldn’t tell.

But I did know one thing.

An ethical line drawn to him. It was clear that the boundary would weaken.

If you kill all the elves now, you can easily choose to ‘kill’ later.

They are stupid. Like puppies who don’t know the tiger, they didn’t know the wideness of the world and didn’t know where they were, so they just acted like this. Like when Layla was once imprisoned in the world of elves.

To the extent that adults do not behave properly and have wrong thinking, children grow up watching them. Elves don’t give birth easily, but that doesn’t mean they don’t reproduce at all.

There are still many children who have not been properly educated here. There were a few faces I hadn’t seen before.

“Iva, make a better choice.”

She agreed with Iba’s opinion because she wanted to solve her fate with the elves.

Also, in order to prevent Iba from running rampant.

Like Innis following with love and Wiz with guilt, Lyla followed with a sense of mission.

“Yes… You’re right…”

Eva nodded her head.

She meekly removed her hand from Lila’s shoulder and grinned.

“A man’s life is not so light.”

Then it spread its wings. The spiked wings flew elastically like blades after crouching, striking the necks of about a dozen people.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

“You still have to leave the young blood. They’re just victims of education. You’ll have to figure it out later. You’re right. Lila. Killing at random is despicable.”

“…?”

The leader of the elves who actively rebelled was also one of those severed heads. Eva turned her head and quickly scanned the faces of the elves.

There were some aspects where Layla’s reaction was exceptionally good when she touched her finger earlier. Once again she flirted with her wings and she struck them in the neck.

She wasn’t taking revenge. There was no such noble feeling. Just annoyed It is a shame that those who persecuted and eventually tried to kill people walked around with their eyes open.

So I killed him. There was no sense of revenge or mission. Being offended was enough reason to act.

‘…Is this correct???’

Lila was confused as the hot blood dripped down her face.

Lilia gaped at her words, and Stella nodded her head in satisfaction. It was the difference between a scholar and a mercenary.

It was a time when it became easier to surrender the elves while instilling fear of death in this way.

There were two things Eva overlooked.

One is none other than the number of these countless elves.

She overlooked the fact that there are as many different abilities as there are elves.

Push!

Bright red blood gushed from Iva’s throat, the same as he caused the others to bleed.

From noble mtl dot com

“Uh…?”

Lyla murmured in surprise.

One of them had the ability to completely hide his presence and appearance.

Another point I overlooked.

All their weapons were in the hands of these elves.

It was the holy sword obtained from Wiz that stabbed Eva’s throat.

“…Suck.”

Iva vigorously moved her wings and hands with blood boiling in her throat. It was an irrational force, an instinctive reaction. Its direction was directly towards the assailant.

I was in a state of excitement right now, so it contained the abilities of various demons that I had collected so far.

The elf who attacked him hit it with a holy spear.

In that way, the power of the demon king who lost his reason, the holy spear and the holy sword met.

-Jajeok!

The sound of something cracking was heard.

A thin crack, like a frozen lake in winter.

Even if it was a thin crack, it would be a different story if it had occurred in the dimension.

‘Oh sh*t.’

The rift did not know how to stop and continued to grow in size. On the contrary to the wind coming in through the cracks in the broken windows, the wind with a strong force pulling through the cracks blew.

-Damn it!!!!

Just like that, the crack swept through the area like a tsunami.

Many people disappeared through the cracks.
